Assisting with Foresight Youth Outreach

Summer/Fall 2012 Essay Contest & Literature Program

Foresight is launching an exciting new youth outreach program! We are targeting the top science, engineering, and entrepreneurially-oriented college clubs and gifted youth programs in the nation and sending out 300 sets of inspiring books on emerging technologies. Students will be incentivized to read, reflect, and contact us with their thoughts by entering our fall 2012 essay contest. Bookmarks and inserts will include information on the contest, our mission, as well as information on partner organizations such as SENS, Humanity+, and the Thiel Foundation's 20Under20 program.

Foresight is in the process of choosing books on nanotechnology to distribute in the program. If you'd like to vote on which book, please weigh in on our Facebook page. (Log into Facebook to vote). In addition, copies of Sonia Arrison's 100+, Aubrey de Grey's Ending Aging, and Peter Diamandis' Abundance have already been donated, and we are also working on securing copies of Ray Kurzweil's Singularity Is Near, and possibly Nick Bostrom's Global Catastrophic Risk.
